Flip Side.
Just because we've been overwhelmed with all the glamorous, like celebrating our third birthday and being featured on Buzzfeed, doesn't exactly mean all the mundane has come to a screeching halt over the past week. So just to keep it real, here's the flip side of all the super awesome...
- I went and picked up our taxes early last week. I signed all the appropriate forms, acknowledged that they would be e-filed, and then promptly tossed them into the back seat of the car...where they laid until my scheduled bi-weekly meeting today with Business Consultant, Mike. Mike loves tax returns and he POURED over ours. And then he said a lot of things that sounded generally positive, but all comments were based on forms, schedules, and math, so it is anyone's guess really. If you need a visual, here is me listening to the discussion regarding our Form 1065...
- Bonus points if you just whispered "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller..." to yourself. Extra bonus points if you also just thought of voodoo economics.
- Because Jeanne has been in and out of PJP a lot lately because she's selling a house and buying a house, I've been making a lot more dough that ever in the past. Kayla, Emily, and Katie timed me late last week and I made a bucket of dough in four minutes and 12 seconds. And I only mention it so that when PJP is a nationwide thing and this super fast dough making time is presumed to be urban legend, the TRUTH RESTS HERE.
- We've also challenged ourselves to not go to Hyvee to purchase anything except for items that our food broker can't provide in a workable quantity, such as bananas and German chocolate. Since industrial manufacturers often post a sign outside their plant boasting their number of days accident free, we are considering posting a sign indicating how many days it has been since we had to go buy anything but bananas or German Chocolate from a retail grocery store. Right now, we are at four. Hyvee is probably seriously worried about our whereabouts by now, actually.
- We saw on social media that Guy Fieri is now casting for a new food focused reality show and we considered applying with the pitch that he just flies Jeanne all over the country and drops her off at restaurants who need help in learning to keep a kitchen spotless. But then we realized that probably not even Guy is ready for that level of intensity and some things are best left at PJP Buttonwood...
